Liste von Vulkanen in Mexiko
Karte mit allen Koordinaten: Diese Liste von Vulkanen in Mexiko stellt aktive und erloschene Vulkane in Mexiko nach den Informationen des Global Volcanism Program der Smithsonian Institution zusammen (siehe L. Siebert, T. Simkin 2002). Die Höhenangaben können je nach Quelle leicht voneinander abweichen.
Niederschläge fallen in Zentralmexiko im Winter bis in Höhen von etwa 3000 m als Schnee, der jedoch meist binnen weniger Tage wieder weitgehend verschwindet; eine Schneekappe ist nur bei den Bergen über 5000 m ganzjährig zu beobachten. Bei den Berggipfeln unterhalb dieser Grenze schmilzt der Schnee bereits im Frühling, spätestens aber im Sommer, vollständig ab.

Cerro El Colli.jpg
Cerro El Colli, a small rhyolitic lava dome that is one of the youngest post-caldera domes of the Sierra La Primavera volcanic complex, rises to the south above the eastern caldera floor. The dome has been dated at about 30,000 years and is the easternmost of several emplaced along an arc along the southern caldera margin. Eruption of the Southern Arc lavas began about 60,000 years ago and were accompanied by eruptions of airfall pumice and pyroclastic flows. Southern Arc lavas are generally younger to the east.

Xitle.jpg
The forest-covered lava flows in the middle of the photo traveled short distances to the south from vents on the flank of Xitle, the scoria cone in the background. Most lava flows were directed by the topographic gradient to the north. Scoria-fall deposits from the 150-m-high Xitle pyroclastic cone mantle the foreground and overlie parts of the lava flows.

Bárcena tuff cone.jpg
An aerial view from the SE shows the Bárcena tuff cone, constructed during an eruption in the Revillagigedo Islands off the western coast of México during 1952-53. The 700-m-wide crater is partially filled by small lava domes, and a fissure on the flank of the cone fed the black lava delta at the lower right.

El Chichón.jpg
A high-altitude aerial oblique view taken on November 4, 1982 shows the effect of the El Chichón eruption about seven months later. This view from the west shows fumaroles around the new lake partially filling the crater and areas devastated by pyroclastic flows and surges. The circular rim of the nearly 2-km-wide pre-eruption somma can be seen surrounding the 1982 crater rim.

Cuauhtzin.jpg
The 3450-m-high Cuauhtzin lava dome (right horizon), capping a low lava shield north of the crest of the Sierra Chichinautzin, was formed between about 7360 and 8225 radiocarbon years ago. Dacitic lava flows and block-and-ash flow deposits surround the dome. Cuauhtzin means "seat of the eagle" in the Nahuatl language. Snow-capped Iztaccihuatl volcano lies on the left horizon.

Pelado.jpg
Volcán Pelado is a small symmetrical shield volcano in the eastern part of the Chichinautzin volcanic field that is capped by a pyroclastic cone. Formation of the volcano between about 9260 and 10,500 years ago was accompanied by pyroclastic flows that entrained pottery fragments from nearby settlements. Volcán Pelado lies 10 km south of Xitle, another cinder cone of the Chichinautzin volcanic field that erupted less than 2000 years ago.

Buildings of a biological research station and fishermen's shacks line the shores of Playa Chica on the SE side of Isla Isabel. The two spires at the upper left are the Islotes Las Monas, eroded remnants of an offshore tuff cone. The lake-filled Laguna Fragatas maar can be seen at the left in front of the spires of the Islotes Las Monas.

The rounded dacitic lava dome, Cerro Papayo, in the State of México.
- The 1-km-wide Cerro Papayo dome rises 230 m above surrounding lava flows.
- It is 2.5 km south of the pass in the northern Trans-Mexican volcanic belt (Sierra Nevada), between Mexico City and Puebla. Cerro Papayo fed voluminous dacitic lava flows that traveled about 10 km ENE toward the Puebla basin and 10 km WSW into the Valley of Mexico.
El Jorullo.jpg
The principal vent of Jorullo volcano, seen here from the SSE, formed a cinder cone that grew to 250 m in height during the first month and a half of the eruption. Lava flows were erupted at some unknown later time from four flank vents located along a NE-SW fissure cutting through the main cone.
